"In an act of political grandstanding, the political witch hunt continues by democrat politicians and operatives. This is nothing more than an attempt to harass and bully Sheriff Clarke. This is fake news. He remains undeterred and unfazed as he has been dealing with this for more than a decade."

"The latest political stunt by County executive Abele is a waste of time. He does not have the authority to investigate the Sheriffâ€™s Office, and the sheriff is making it very clear that personnel responsible to him will not be talked to by anybody from the county executiveâ€™s office."
